TCP/IP Configuration (OS/2 Warp/LAN Server)
TCP/IP Configuration (OS/2 Warp/LAN
Server)
The PhaserShare TCP/IP interface is compatible with these environments:
OS/2 Warp with TCP/IP V2.0 for OS/2
LAN Server 3.0 or later with the TCP/IP Application Kit.
Before you begin, connect the printer to the network.
Setting the printer’s IP addressing parameters
For information on setting the printer’s IP addressing parameters, see your printer’s
networking setup guide and
Setting IP addressing: PostScript utility file (UNIX only)
on
page 10.
IBM TCP/IP Version 2.0 for OS/2 includes BOOTP support.
Refer to your TCP/IP
documentation for installing and configuring BOOTP on a PC.
Note
In the OS/2 Warp environment, the OS/2 boot server and the printer must be on
the same Token Ring.
Edit the
hosts
file to create an entry that identifies the printer’s IP address and the printer
object name (to be assigned in the next topic).
The
hosts
file is in
C:\TCPIP\ETC
.
Creating an LPR queue in OS/2 Warp Connect
(direct LPR connection to the printer)
OS/2 Warp Connect allows you to print directly to Tektronix printers via LPR (no server).
Note
It is important that
LPRPORTD.EXE
and
LPD.EXE
be running in the background.
You can set these to run automatically from the
Autostart
tab of the
TCP/IP
Configuration
dialog box.
1.
Create a
Printer Object
.
To do this, use the right mouse button to drag the
Printer
template from the
Templates
folder to the desktop; this displays the
Create a Printer
dialog box.
2.
In the
Create Printer
dialog box, enter the name of the printer.
